    37. One Meal Changed Everything

    Sam Garrett grew up in and out of emergency rooms with asthma and severe eczema. From ICU visits to hospital stays at National Jewish, his childhood revolved around medications, steroids, and trying to control symptoms that never fully went away. But what ultimately changed everything wasn’t another prescription. In this episode, Lisa sits down with her oldest son to unpack the turning points: the $100 elimination experiment, the moment milk triggered immediate wheezing, the law school years of dialing in nutrition for mental performance, and the surprising connection between food, inflammation, lung function, and focus. If you’ve ever wondered whether what you eat really affects your asthma, skin, sleep, or energy, this conversation is real-life proof that it does. In this episode, you’ll learn: Food directly impacts asthma, eczema, and inflammation. The itch-scratch cycle can be interrupted, but root cause matters. Elimination diets reveal more than you expect. Mental clarity and professional performance are deeply tied to nutrition. Sleep, stress, and food all compound, for better or worse. Listening to your body is a skill that must be learned. KEY MOMENTS 00:03:54 – The ER ScareSam recalls the kindergarten hospital visit when doctors said he was “lucky he’s alive.” 00:11:16 – The $100 Elimination Experiment. At age 12, three weeks without dairy and gluten dramatically changed his skin, sleep, and breathing. 00:13:42 – Milk Triggered Immediate Wheezing. Reintroducing dairy caused instant asthma symptoms. 00:31:58 – The Pasta Test as an Adult: One meal brought back eczema, congestion, and nighttime asthma. 00:48:44 – Best Lung Function of His Life FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

    35. Get the Life You Want: The Real Cost of Staying Stuck

    In this episode, Lisa Garrett pulls back the curtain on why so many people stay stuck—even when they say they want change. From health and money to relationships and identity, she challenges the stories we tell ourselves to avoid discomfort. Through deeply personal experiences, including risking everything to heal her body, Lisa explores how “money objections” often mask fear, safety, and resistance to growth. This is a candid conversation about listening to your gut, getting uncomfortable, and choosing yourself before rock bottom forces the decision. If you’ve ever felt wired and tired, overextended, or quietly unhappy while telling yourself “now’s not the right time,” this episode will hit close to home. In this episode, you’ll learn: Money is often the excuse—not the real reason—we avoid change Staying stuck always has a cost, even when it feels safer Growth requires discomfort and trusting yourself before it makes sense Saying yes to everyone else often means saying no to yourself You don’t need rock bottom to give yourself permission to change KEY MOMENTS 00:52 – Lisa explains why she was taught to stay quiet and how finding her voice shaped this podcast 03:17 – How life experiences, trauma, and labels quietly determine how we show up 06:53 – Feeling “wired and tired” and the warning signs of living on empty 11:24 – What happens when you remove your backup plans and fully commit to change 20:52 – Why you deserve the life you want now, not someday FREE GUT ANALYSIS CALL 🎁 Schedule your free gut analysis call with me!

Angie shares the devastating loss of her one-year-old son, followed by the terminal cancer and death of her husband, and then the loss of her brother—all within just a few years.

This episode is for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind or who wants to understand better how to show up for others when words feel inadequate.

What started as a health scare for her beloved German Shepherd became a masterclass in intuition, advocacy, energy, and healing.
